ot horns aud ringing OF bells brought to-

threatened The police with violence. The

Two Dispatches Give Contradictory
Versions OF the same Meeting.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-Mr. Randall's
conference tonight was a dead failure.
MIR. Randall was present, but that was
about all his lieutensnts had to rejoice In.
They could not agree upon a bill. The
Northern men seeing that the Republican
support could not be secured except for
bill reducing the duty on sugar, insisted
that some reduction should be provided
for in the bill. This enraged the LouIsi-
ana men. MIR. Gay. OF louisiana, gave
notice that they would fight any bill con-
taining reduction on sugar, besides he
pleaded tue former agreement with Dir.
Randall that the sugar duty should not
be touched. The conference broke up
without an agreement. Friday night
they Will try it again, with probably like
results.

will increase by about S3,000,000 the re-

About Natural Gas:

FROM the Cnlcago inter Ocean.
The earliest use OF natural gas on
record is Ia China, where for centuries
it has been conveyed through hollow
bamboos from assures in salt mines
to the surface for burning purposes.
Near the Caspian Sea, in Asia, there are
also places where natural gas is seen
to exude from the earth, and a SINH
lar phenomenon is to be seen in the
Szalatua salt mine in Hungary Nat
ural gas was first discovered in this
country in the neighborhooa OF Fred
onia, Chautauqua County, N. Y, early
in the century. Here it was first put
to use by some enterprising citizens in
the year 1921. A small we'll was
bored in the village to the depth Of 27
feet, and the gas was conducted
through pipes to the houses, where it
was used for illuminating purposes
alone. 1t is said that in 1924, on the
occasion of Lafayette's visit, the vii
lage was illuminated with natural gas.
This well, which was drilled in l85Oto
the depth of only seventy feet, con-
tinued to supply the village with illu-
minatlng gas until the year 1858. 1t
is a noteworthy fact that although
this interesting'discovery was widely
known it did not lead to any further
experiments, either in the neighbor.
hood or iii other places, till fully
twenty years after 1921. In the
early part OF the present century it
was found that the wells which were
bored for salt in the Kanawha Valley
yielded large quantities Of gas. In
184l this gas was first used as fuel
for boiling the brlnes obtained from
the wells. Nearly all the wells drilled
for the purpose Of obtaining petroleum
afforded natural gas in abundance; it
was, in fact. a considerable inconveni-
ence to those engaged in sinking the
wells, and often a source OF serious
danger. In 1865 a we'll which was
sunk for petroleum at West Bloom.
field, N. Y, struck flow of natural
this, and 1T was carried in q wooden
main to the city OF Rochester, a dis
tance OF "a miles, in 1870, for the
purpose of illuminating the city, but
the experiment was a failure. So,
though it was oblivious that this
gaseous product constituted an mex
haustible supply OF excellent fuel. no
attempt was made to put it to use in
manufacture until during the past de.
cade. In 1878, a well in Armstrong
County, Penn, was so arranged that
the gas could be separated from the
water with which it was discharged,
and conveyed through pipes to sever
al miles IN that vicinity, where it was
used in the manufacture OF bar-iron.
From that time to the present day the
use of natural gas has increased very
rapidly. It is estimated that the gas
used in 1885 for heating and iilumi-
mating purposes was equivalent to g.
l3l. 900 tons OF coal, having a value
of 81, $4,000. The consumption OF
gas during the last calendar year very
much exceeded this quantity; the
total value estimated on the basis Of
the coal which it has displaced prob
ably amounted to more than So,
100000.
